I have been sick with a soar throat, swolen glands, weakness, and pain in my mouth for about 2.5 months. I also started reacting with pain to anything I eat or drink. I have been to my GP a few times now and have been on courses of Amox TR-K CLV 875/125 and Cipro. These have not seemed to ease the problems...

I then went to an ENT last week who found my tongue tonsils to be extremely infected and swolen. He again wanted me to try the Amox mediation and take pain relievers for the pain...

My concern is what could have caused this infection for such a long time? Someone else suggested Levaquin but my insurance won't cover that - any other suggestions, advice, or anything to help aleviate this constant infection/pain would be appreciatedView Thread
